Many years ago, I had a '51 Ford 2-door with a 223 FH 6. I had the head milled .060, made a set of dual outlet headers and installed a single barrel carb from a GMC 302 ( with some strange linkage) and proceeeded to whip most of the FH Ford V8s around town. It sounded good doing it, too! The horsepower rating was only 5 hp less than a V8 and it had more low-end torque. Did I ever have fun with that sucker! Several people warned me that it wasn't nearly as strong as a Dodge or Plymouth FH, but I drove the crap out of it for two years and it never quit.
